I have the kit on my MY98 and also have the Prodrive geometry settings and both work very well. The kit itself involved Eibache springs and Bilstien shocks so you might be able to source it for cheaper than the Prodrive kit but it all depends on warranty. I say go for it and get the Power Station bump steer mod and you can not go wrong.

had prodrive suspension on the my00, leda on the sti5.
leda is, IMHO, far better
seems to corner better, soak up bumps better.
this is only my opinion though, others here probably have a better understanding of it, but to a technoidiot like me who just about knows where to put the petrol in a car, leda just 'felt' better

for every-day use on a mix of B-roads and motorways, Prodrive is much better than the original equipment! stiffer, direct steering, more comfortable. Very satisfied!
